I am finding myself shooting my 1720 more than any of my air guns. That is shocking to me. The first time I held it when it came in I put it back in the box for several months. Then put it up for sale, then thought I may as well shoot it before its gone. I like it more than my 1701 for the little more power. I do wish it was a little quieter but can live with it. I have several target located around the yard. I usually only shoot the pistol out to 30 yards but occasionally stretch out the pistol to 50 yards. Question would the p-rod be any quieter?Is it as accurate?
